Startled by He Muchen, Zhou Rui instinctively shrank back, blushing as he asked, "What did you call me?"
"Baby! There's no one else around, so I can call you baby! Or would you like me to call you wife?"
He Muchen moved even closer to tease Zhou Rui, seemingly unable to resist wanting to get closer to him.
Zhou Rui stammered nervously, "No... what do you mean?"
“Baby, you said you didn’t want anyone to know, so we’ll just call you that secretly.” He Muchen said in a pitiful and coquettish tone.
He didn't want to be secretive at all; he wanted to be with him openly and honestly.
By the way, let everyone know that Zhou Rui belongs to He Muchen, and no one is allowed to take him away from him.
But Zhou Rui seems to mind that others know about their close relationship.
Zhou Rui looked at He Muchen in surprise. Was He Muchen addicted to being called "husband" by others, or did he also have feelings for her?
Oh well! Who cares? As long as he's happy, I'm happy too. It's just a matter of talking to each other in private anyway, why worry about anything else?
Zhou Rui smiled and nodded, then said shyly, "Okay, then call me that secretly, as long as you don't mind me calling you husband."
He Muchen excitedly rubbed his face against Zhou Rui's shoulder and said gently, "Wife, it's so good, and you smell so good, so sweet."
Zhou Rui did not stop He Muchen from his actions and words, and he also enjoyed He Muchen's coquettish and gentle words to him.
If this is just a dream, then he hopes that the dream will never end, that he can keep dreaming it forever, and that even if things don't turn out as wonderful as they are now, he will accept it.
When I was in that time and space before, it seems that someone else said the same thing, saying that they smelled very sweet.
It's just that too much time has passed, and I was too young at the time, so I don't remember what the little boy looked like.
Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Really? I smell nice?"
He Muchen raised his face, took Zhou Rui's hand, inhaled the fragrance of his skin, and smiled gently:
"It smells very good, a light peach blossom scent, and it's very sweet."
Zhou Rui blushed and pulled his hand away, coughing lightly, "Ahem, I didn't even notice."
She then pretended to put the hand to her nose and smell it: "It seems to have a faint smell, but it shouldn't be sweet."
He Muchen smiled and gently rubbed Zhou Rui's head, saying tenderly, "If I say the baby is sweet, then he is sweet."
Zhou Rui was so overwhelmed by He Muchen calling him "baby" and "wife" that he felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if he were about to float away. At that moment, he was blissful.
The ringing of his cell phone suddenly pulled him from heaven. He woke up instantly, and seeing it was his mother calling, he exclaimed:
"Oh no, I forgot to send my mom the photos."
"What should I do?" He glanced at He Muchen: "Honey, could you answer the phone for me? My mom loves you and won't scold you."
He Muchen chuckled and rubbed his head, then took the phone. Before He Muchen could even speak, Ms. Lin Yi on the other end of the line launched into a tirade of complaints:
"Zhou Rui, don't you love your mother anymore?"
"You won't even do the little things I ask you to do. Sigh! My baby has grown up and doesn't love me anymore. My heart is so sad."
"Baby, do you know? I've stood at the window and looked down so many times, and I just can't understand how my baby can not love me." She said this while pretending to cry.
Zhou Rui thought his mother would scold him, but instead she cried to him. He was about to take the phone from He Muchen's hand.
He Muchen immediately turned off the speakerphone and gently said to his ear, "Auntie, this is Xiao He. Rui Rui has been busy and hasn't had time to send you the photos yet."
"Auntie, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. Rui Rui was busy all day, and I even had to ask him to buy me coffee, which delayed me from sending you the photos."
Zhou Rui watched as He Muchen lied without blushing or stuttering, able to say anything he wanted, even his apologies were fluent and smooth, without a moment's hesitation. Sure enough, the future movie star was no exaggeration.
Zhou Rui's mother, Ms. Lin Yi, immediately stopped crying and said with a smile:
"Oh, Xiao He, how can you blame Xiao He? It's not Auntie's fault. Auntie has a quick temper. Xiao He, can you please understand Auntie?"
He Muchen even put on a wronged act, saying, "It's not Auntie's fault. Auntie loves me too much, that's why she's so eager to see pictures of me at events."
"When Rui Rui comes back, I'll have him send you the photos. Next time Auntie wants photos, she can just tell me and I'll have the company send you a copy."
Zhou Rui's mother smiled excitedly, then said a little embarrassedly, "Oh, no, I'm so sorry to bother Xiao He! Auntie can find the photos in the fan group."
"It won't bother you, Auntie," He Muchen said obediently.
Ms. Lin Yi on the other end of the phone was so happy she jumped for joy and screamed excitedly.
Hearing the scream, He Muchen took the phone away from his ear. Zhou Rui, sitting next to him, said awkwardly in a low voice, "Honey, give me the phone."
He Muchen handed the phone to Zhou Rui, who hung up and sent the photo to his mother.
As soon as the photo was sent, Zhou Rui's mother sent a voice message saying: Thank you, baby, I love you.
He Muchen smiled and leaned close to Zhou Rui's ear, mimicking his aunt's tone, and said, "Baby, I love you."
This time, it wasn't his mother who was going to yell, it was him who was going to scream! He screamed excitedly, "Ahhh..."
He Muchen quickly covered Zhou Rui's mouth. Although the driver in front couldn't hear what they were doing, his screams should be audible to the driver in front.
The driver probably thought we did something wrong. Since he might misunderstand, let's do something about it.
Zhou Rui opened his eyes wide and held his breath as he watched He Muchen kiss him. He Muchen looked at Zhou Rui, whose face was flushed red.
She quickly pulled her lips away from Zhou Rui's, smiling as she rubbed his head: "Baby, you can breathe now."
Zhou Rui exhaled deeply, not daring to look at He Muchen or ask him why.
When asked what their relationship was now, he could only try to ease the awkward and ambiguous atmosphere by taking deep breaths.
After a while, the car stopped, and He Muchen said to Zhou Rui, "Baby, are you feeling better? If you are, let's go buy some things together, and we can also buy some things for your aunt and uncle to take back."
Zhou Rui nodded obediently. Seeing that he agreed to get off the car with him, He Muchen put on a mask, sunglasses, and a hat, got off the car, and went to buy Zhouji pastries for his pregnant sister-in-law.
The two went into the shop, picked out some pastries, and Mu Chen whispered in Zhou Rui's ear:
"Baby, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
